Fun Fact
  1. It is said that raspberries were originally white in color. During picking berries for Jupiter, the nymph Ida pricked her finger, and raspberries have since been tinged red. 
  2. Thus, Rubus idaeus, the botanical name of the raspberry, makes more sense. Rubus means “red,” and idaeus means “belonging to Ida.”
Historical Fact
  1. According to some sources, sorbet dates back as far as 3000 B.C. Asian cultures discovered the roots of sorbet in the form of crushed ice and flavorings.
  2. The first recipe for sorbetto was written down by Antonio Latini (1642–1692), a Spanish viceroy working in Naples. 
Nutrition Fact
